Description

Cerelle is a highly effective progestogen-only contraceptive pill (POP), also known as the mini pill. It contains desogestrel 75mcg, a synthetic version of the female hormone progesterone. Cerelle is designed to prevent pregnancy and is a trusted choice for women who cannot or prefer not to take oestrogen-based contraceptives, including those who are breastfeeding or over 35 years old.

Key Features

Over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken correctly at the same time every day.

Oestrogen-free: Suitable for women who are sensitive to oestrogen, breastfeeding, or have certain health conditions.

Active ingredient: Desogestrel 75mcg – the same as Cerazette, Hana, and Lovima mini pills.

Daily, continuous dosing: Take one pill at the same time each day, with no breaks between packs.

Discreet packaging and fast delivery are available throughout the UK.

How Cerelle Works
Stops ovulation: Prevents the release of eggs from the ovaries, which is more effective than many other mini pills.

Thickens cervical mucus: Makes it more challenging for sperm to reach the egg.

Alters the uterine lining: Reduces the chance of a fertilised egg implanting.

Who Can Use Cerelle?
Women who cannot take oestrogen (e.g., due to migraines, high blood pressure, or risk of blood clots).

Women who are breastfeeding or have recently given birth.

Smokers and women over 35 years old.

Those seeking a reliable, low-maintenance contraceptive option.

Take one tablet daily, at the same time each day, without any breaks between packs.

Each pack contains 28 tablets; start a new pack immediately after finishing the previous one.

Uses / Instructions

Each strip of Cerelle contains 28 tablets. Arrows and the days of the week are printed on the front side of the strip, which help you take your pill correctly. Take your daily tablet at about the same time each day. Swallow each tablet whole with water.

Every time you start a new strip of Cerelle take a tablet from the top row. For example, if you start on a Wednesday, you should take the tablet from the top row marked WE. You should continue to take one tablet a day, until the strip is empty, always following the direction indicated by the arrows.

Remember to use any remaining tablets from the first row, in sequence, before starting a new strip. In this way you can easily check whether you have taken your daily tablet.

You may have some bleeding during the use of Cerelle, but you must continue
to take your tablet as normal.

When a strip is empty, you must start with a new pack of Cerelle on the next day – without interruption and without waiting for a bleeding.
